Breakfast

This berry sauce is so versatile - 0 points and works great with any frozen fruit - in parfaits, over ice cream - it's even great over pan seared pork!

I guess the most positive thing about not having my wine at night is that I am WAY more productive!  I guess I considered drinking wine an activity, so I was busy drinking wine, no?! I signed up for my 75 minute hot yoga in the middle of last week and I wasn’t sure how to prepare for it diabetes wise.  My sister told her...

On Monday night I asked Hannah to defrost a bag of leftover chopped pork shoulder that I had done in the crock pot over the weekend to make pork BBQ sandwiches for dinner.  When I got home I realized she defrosted both bags, so I need to use up the defrosted pork before it goes bad.  Monday night we had these – Stubbs Spicy BBQ...

I am one of those people that can kind of roll with the punches.  It’s just my nature, if I get knocked down, it might take me a while, but I’ll eventually dust myself off and move on.  Change is scary and it’s good all at the same time.   So I’ve decided to change things up.  First off – I have a new look on...

It’s no wonder where I get my drive to stay busy.  My Mom and my Aunt Martha are shining examples that age is just a number and you get so much more out of life if you stay active.  I know I’ve talked it about it before, but there are some times of the year I literally need to schedule time with my Mom weeks...

All I can say is.  Wow.  Thank you so much for the amazing response to my post yesterday.  I just feel like a weight is lifted off of me, it’s really hard to describe, but it feels good!  It will probably take me a couple days to respond to all the comments but I just wanted to say THANKS! With the Cabot Cheese and King...

After doing strength for the last couple days, I woke up a bit sore yesterday morning.  So I turned to my DVR and did 30 minutes of Classical Stretch and I felt AMAZING when I was done.  I sometimes wake up with shoulder pain and after that 30 minutes of stretching, it was completely gone.  The woman who does the shoe kind of annoys me...

I love the store Sur la Table.  There is one about 5 minutes from my office and it’s not unusual for me to go in there a couple times a month and drool over the $400 sauce pans.  You may think there is nothing there in your price range, but all stores have a discount section in the back of the store, and they also...

I remember exactly where I was when I had my first scone.  It was a Starbucks.  In Chicago.  I was picking up coffee for my boss and he asked for a cinnamon chip scone to go with it.  Huh.  This was way before I became a foodie and literally ate the same things over and over.  Hannah was probably about five and I used to...

Can we start out the blog post with the cutest picture evah! How cute is that??!!  Hannah had to work early yesterday and Red sleeps with me, so he usually wakes up when I do and I let him outside.  Rummy, the Boston Terrier, loves sleeping with Hannah and Jacob – unless she hears me and Red up and then all bets are off.  She’ll...
